I watched The Woman last night. It was pretty stupid.

Yeah, I watched it a couple of weeks ago, and I have nothing good to say about it. Very mean-spirited and the violence somehow managed to be both extreme and corny. The soundtrack made it an even worse experience, and it might have benefited from not having one at all, maybe. I pretty much hated every character in the movie.
What a crap year for horror.

I thought the premise had a lot of potential, but man...they couldn't have possibly screwed it up more.

Agreed. It's sad because the director's previous efforts (May and The Woods) were both solid. This movie was a complete mess. I think it tried and failed to be a dark comedy in some ways, and it played out too much like torture porn with a side of The People Under the Stairs.
Speaking of disappointing horror movies, I recently watched Chillerama (hated it) and The Perfect Host (entertaining until the shitty ending). and may need to take a break from indie films for a while. It's been a while since anything blew me away in the genre.
